Your face is strange
From the way u look and smile down at me i can tell
You think you know me
I scan through my thoughts and it's all vague
I try to think harder, deeper, and even search for a clue on where i just might be,
Who I'm, what I'm and why your still there calling me a name

But though my brain is blank i do remember something so vivid
I remember how to scream
How to search for the strongest furniture
Surprisingly i also know what to say
'stop, don't come any closer'
I see you reach for something in ur pocket
This time IΒ Β guess it's my adrenaline that kicked in cos i flip and cast my weapon
Who thought me to aim so well
Something is wrong
Cos then a vague picture flashes through my mind

It's you holding me
It's me smiling
It's me hurting
It's you never leaving
It's you telling me "i love you"

I'm calm for the moment
I listen to you tell me about me
I ask you how u knew to dodge so well
You smile, you take my feeble hands squeeze them.
It was all bliss: i listened to you tell me about parts of my life i knew you'd have to repeat

I'm scared to sleep although I'm tired
I don't ever want to forget how i feel this moment.
You say I'd be fine, I'd pull through
I close my eyes and my dreams are filled with brain ******* demons
I open my eyes to this stranger staring down at me smiling
